At the 11th Group Army Command, a slightly thin senior officer was walking towards the command office, holding several documents sent from the front line in his hand.

The middle-aged officer pushed open the door casually, but the guards beside him had no intention of stopping them. It was obvious that his identity was extraordinary.

"Brother Yinguo, the Longling battle report has been counted. It's really awesome young man, you can take a look."

"oh?"

Song Xilian at the desk put down the banknotes in his hand, took the battle report and started to read it carefully.

"This Liao Mingyu is really capable. He stabilized the war in Songshan area in less than a week and took the opportunity to counterattack and recover the entire Longling."

The middle-aged officer casually pulled a chair and sat opposite Song Xilian, but praised the battle.

"Haha, when my brother came, wasn't he still saying that he became famous? Isn't it that there is nothing outside?"

Song Xilian put down the document and teased with a smile, without any surprise at all, but instead showed an unexpected expression.

"Oh, I thought he was just a stinky foot picked up by some people, but I really took a look. As expected, the famous Wuxu Scholar is, this time the old Japanese devils in Watanabe are probably unable to sit still.

”

The middle-aged officer waved his hand with a self-deprecating look. He was Huang Jie, the commander of the 6th Army who was transferred to western Yunnan in May this year, and also served as deputy commander of the 11th Group Army.

Because of the influence of his old classmate Zhong Bin and the subsequent incident of He Shaozhou, he has never been very friendly to Liao Mingyu, and he particularly does not understand why Song Xilian is so concerned about the latter.

But after this battle, Huang Jie finally realized Liao Mingyu's extraordinary qualities.

This battle annihilated two Japanese corpses and an artillery corps, seized countless materials, directly cut off the retreat of the Japanese army in the Tengchong side, and strategically forced the 56th Division to become an isolated army.

If the 56th Division wants to withdraw back to Myanmar, it will no longer work to go to the Burma Kilometer, so it can only march west along the Yingjiang River along the valley. However, the mountains there are high and steep roads, and it is not easy for the large army to pass through.

"Tell me the serious matters, and immediately send this battle report to the head of state. This time, that kid's outstanding military achievements can also offset the impact of his last incident and confirm the division commander."

Song Xilian crossed his hands and thought. Since he chose to help Liao Mingyu, then help him to the end. After all, the latter's ability is nothing to say. The more he can beat himself as the immediate boss, it will be a big rise.

"I don't think that last time, that incident involved too much. If it weren't for the grudge between the Head of State and Minister He, Liao Mingyu wouldn't have escaped so easily."

The mature Huang Jie is more insightful and more thorough in politics than Song Xilian. He said that he has a different view on this issue:

"You don't know the temper of our chief instructor? There are many troubles behind it. Now Chief Chen has returned to Bayu to reply. I don't know who the next commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force is."

More than a year has passed since the First Expeditionary Force failed to enter Myanmar. In February this year, the senior government officials decided to rebuild the Expeditionary Force headquarters. The bald head of state appointed Chen Cheng as the commander of the Expeditionary Force, responsible for the training of the second batch of expeditionary forces.

In addition to expeditioning to Myanmar, the Second Expeditionary Force was also responsible for regaining western Yunnan. The reason why the bald man appointed Chen Cheng as commander was mainly to take advantage of his prestige and ability to consolidate the army in the national army.

Now that the two major armies of the Expeditionary Force have completed the training, his mission has been completed, and the subsequent commander and commander candidates are still unknown.

Song Xilian sighed in a deflated manner and said helplessly: "Oh, let's leave everything to fate. No matter what, he is also a member of my command. It can be seen that this kid is definitely not a thing in the pool. I guess I will rely on him in the future.

maybe."

Huang Jie nodded to express his understanding. Now there are many parties within the national government, and Huangpu students alone have divided into several factions, not to mention the generals under the command of those big bosses.

The complex network of relationships is like a mess. In addition to choosing to rely on one party, more people also hold together to warm each other, or cultivate their own party members. This is the most true portrayal of the country's government.

He could see that Song Xilian wanted to help Liao Mingyu, a young man. After all, he got to plant melons and so on. With the latter's momentum, he might really become a great god in the future.

Huang Jie is also an open-minded person. He has always loved capable generals and is not stingy in praise of them at all. This time, let's treat it as a good thing.

...

A few days later... In a small bluestone brick three-story building at No. 232 Guofu Road, Bayu, the bald head of state was meeting an important confidant.

The head of state stood with a civilized stick and smiled and said to the visitor: "Ci Xiu, don't stand stupidly, sit quickly and sit quickly."

"yes!"

A middle-aged officer with thick eyebrows and big eyes and gentle gentle eyes immediately lowered his head and said yes. He sorted out his military uniform and sat upright on the sofa. On his collar, he was obviously the rank of general with a golden face of three-star.

"I'm fine in western Yunnan these past few months. How are the troops doing?" The head of state picked up the teacup and took a sip, and asked slowly.

"It's all right to drag your blessings. The training of the Expeditionary Force has been completed, and the organization of the 20th Army and the 11th Army has been basically completed."

The general held his breath and replied very seriously: "It was just that the 71st Army suffered heavy losses some time ago, and some vacancies appeared in the army, but the new supplement has been arranged."

"Yeah, thank you for your hard work." The head of state nodded and expressed his recognition of his work with a smile.

"Why do you have to work hard for the National Party?"

The middle-aged general replied strongly that this person was one of the most trusted confidants of the head of state, commander-in-chief of the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force: Chen Cheng.

"I am going to send Wei Lihuang to take over the military affairs in western Yunnan. I will transfer you back this time and have other benefits. I hope you can understand." The bald man said softly.

"All follow the arrangements of the head of state."

Chen Cheng nodded and lowered his eyebrows. As the head of state's direct confidant, he has always obeyed and supported the bald head's resolution unconditionally.

The head of state nodded without saying anything, pointed to the telegram document on the table and signaled him to take a look.

Chen Cheng took it over and took a quick look. The telegram recorded the entire process of Longling's battle in detail. He knew all these things, but he just didn't understand what the head of state wanted to express.

"What do you think about this Liao Mingyu?" The head of state closed his eyes slightly and suddenly asked.

Chen Cheng was very surprised. According to the character of the head of state, he would not ask such a question for no reason. Since he asked, he would definitely have some ideas.

The head of state has always been a maverick style and does not care too much about other people's opinions, unless he attaches great importance to the person, or he is very powerful and difficult to choose.

It is obviously impossible for Liao Mingyu to be the latter. There is only one explanation. Chen Cheng thought about it for a while and decided to tell it truthfully:

"Actually, I don't know much about Liao Mingyu, but his command ability is quite good. Just from the results of the battle against Japan until now, you can see that he is a rare tiger general."

The head of state nodded without saying a word. Of course, he also knew how brilliant Liao Mingyu's record was in western Yunnan in just one year. No general at the regiment and division level could do this.

If only military achievements are calculated, it would not be an exaggeration to give him a commander now. It was just that for some reason, he failed to give him a higher position.

"Actually... I think I can give Liao Mingyu the reward he deserves, after all, his military achievements are there." Chen Cheng thought for a while and said what he thought in his heart. Seeing that the head of state's expression had not changed much, he continued to add:

"As a general who fought on the front line of the anti-Japanese war, he has outstanding abilities and qualifications. He should be put on a larger stage so that he can display more talents."

He knew very well about the grudges between Liao Mingyu and Minister He, but at the same time, everyone knew about his disagreement with Minister He, and the two had been fighting openly and secretly for many years.

As a rising star, Chen Cheng was deeply loved and trusted by the bald man, and his "civil engineering system" completely replaced Minister He's position as the "non-commissioned officer system". The government can be said to be the new second-ranked figure after Minister He, and in terms of status, he only

It's just second to bald head.

The so-called enemy is a friend, and Liao Mingyu is very outstanding, Chen Cheng really wants to bring him under his command and strengthen his "civil and wood system"

"Then tell me what position should I give him?" Bald man raised his eyelids and asked expressionlessly.

"I dare not speak nonsense because of my humble position. It depends entirely on the decision of the head of state. If I insist on saying it... Liao Mingyu is more than enough to be the commander of the army." Chen Chengyi replied half-coveredly.

Although the national government is in serious momentum to form cliques, it still dares not act recklessly on the surface, especially in front of the bald man, and cannot speak too clearly.

"Ci Xiu, you may not know the obscure..." The head of state shook his head and slowly told the story to the confidant.

The last time the Nantianmen victory was won, the bald man wanted to commend Liao Mingyu, but the matter of He Shaozhou was put on hold.

Although it was finally resolved, a large number of Huangpu Army officers made suggestions and expressed great dissatisfaction with the incident.

Killing colleagues is punishable, and they cannot keep such people in the army at all. Or they are bad apples and are unwilling to join them. Anyway, there are countless slander telegrams, even a few troops in western Yunnan

Changdu sent a letter of protest.

Although Minister He has a very inferior status as before, his prestige is still there. As a former head instructor of Huangpu, he still has many officers to support him, which is also a very headache for bald people.

Although the bald head protected Liao Mingyu under pressure, it was a little angry. In the end, if Zhong Bin had not underestimated the enemy and caused heavy losses to the troops, Nantianmen urgently needed a general to put out the fire urgently, Liao Mingyu would probably be hidden in the snow for some time.

But this was just given the position of Chief of Staff, and the reason for this was that Minister He was obstructing him.

On the other hand, the bald man also wanted to use such buffering to allow Liao Mingyu to survive this storm. As long as he continues to win on the battlefield, he can straighten him rightfully.

After listening to the head of state's bitter remarks, Chen Cheng was also deeply moved, but he felt more and more eager to help Liao Mingyu.

On the one hand, it was because of Minister He, and on the other hand, he also discovered the degree of importance the head of state attached to Liao Mingyu, which was particularly important.

"It's better to do this... Let Liao Mingyu continue to serve as the chief of staff, but will not assign military chief officials for the time being. The victory of this Longling Battle can be promoted to the rank of two-star gold-faced military, and can also prepare for subsequent appointments."

Chen Cheng thought carefully and put forward his own suggestions.

"Well, I think it's feasible, so let Wei Lihuang convey this order."

The head of state thought about it and thought that this was a more choice, so he immediately decided to make the arrangement according to this.

In addition, Wei Lihuang has a good reputation and good character. He can shock the commanders of the army when he goes to western Yunnan.

At this moment, Chen Cheng also began to make plans in his heart. Since the head of state attaches great importance to Liao Mingyu, he cannot remain indifferent.

...

At this time, Liao Mingyu, who was thousands of miles away, was unaware of such an appointment. He was a little drowsy after lunch and was suddenly shocked in his mind.

"Ding! Report the host, the system upgrade has been completed, please check..."

The long-lost voice sounded again, which almost made Liao Mingyu jump up, and the dog-dream system finally came to life.

"System Master, you have calculated it. I thought the upgrade would have eliminated you! Isn't it agreed to be at most one month, how long has it been for you to calculate it yourself?"

After reacting, Liao Mingyu kept complaining that this dog was too irresponsible. He had originally said that a month had disappeared for more than 60 days.

If it hadn't exchanged a lot of supplies before it "supported the corpse", the entire army would have to live in vain. The supplies transferred from the top could not afford to support these American equipment.

"Ding, because some space-time data is lost, this upgrade has been affected..." The system immediately explained.

"Then what?"
To be continued...
